	'''Ernest Rutherford''' (1871-1937) was a New Zealand-born physicist whose scattering experiments led to the nuclear model of the atom. His work established that atoms contain a small, dense, positively charged nucleus.

			Rutherford interpreted alpha-particle scattering experiments as evidence that most atomic mass and positive charge are concentrated in a tiny nucleus. This changed atomic physics and prepared the way for quantum models of atomic structure.

			Rutherford's work is connected with the proton, nuclear reactions, and the transition from classical atomic models to quantum atomic theory.
